Ruoqing returned to her room, closed the door, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Where did you go?"

The sudden voice gave Ruoqing a fright. She opened her mouth slightly and was about to call out. When she looked up and saw that it was Yu Longzi, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Your Highness, how could you come to such a shabby place with such a noble body?" Ruoqing did not bow as she was trying her best to learn Mu Ruqing's attitude and could only get some information from the palace maids. After all, Mu Ruqing was not often in the Palace.

"Where did you go?" Yu Longzi threw down the hairpin in his hand and saw that there was no tenderness in Ruoqing's eyes, there was only endless scrutiny.

"This servant, this servant went to the garden with younger sister." Ruoqing answered respectfully and leaned against the door, not daring to take a step forward.

"Is that so?" Yu Longzi smiled, but he looked more like a devil that wanted to kill. He walked into Ruoqing and pinched her chin, "Don't lie to this prince. After all, this prince trusts you very much."

"How would this servant dare to lie to Your Highness?" Ruoqing finally revealed a definite smile but why did she feel that sweat was about to drip down her head?

"Elder sister, elder sister?"

Before Yu Longzi could say anything, Ruoqing leaned against the door and there was a heavy knock on the door. It was the palace maid from earlier.

Yu Longzi let go of Ruoqing and retreated to the side of Ruoqing's bed. Only then did Ruoqing open the door.

"Older sister, why is it so long?" The palace maid held a few flowers and the hairpin that she had just taken was swaying back and forth on her hair. Her face was full of happiness as she said and was about to push Ruoqing into the room.

Ruoqing placed her hands on the door and did not let go. She had an apologetic look on her face. "What do you want? Just now I walked a few rounds in the garden. I feel a little tired and want to rest."

"Oh, then I won't go in." The palace maid withdrew one of her feet from the doorway, her smile unable to hide her small disappointment. She held the flower in front of Ruoqing and shook it, "Is it beautiful? This is the flower that you said was pretty when you went to the courtyard just now. I went to give a few branches to Big Sister secretly."

" Younger sister folded it. It looks even more beautiful than the courtyard. Thank you, younger sister. " Ruoqing smiled happily. This palace maid came at the right time.

"It's good that elder sister likes it." The palace maid happily placed her hands behind her back, "Since elder sister is tired from walking, elder sister should rest early. I will go down first. Next time, we will go to the courtyard together."

"Yes." After Ruoqing finished speaking, she closed the door and placed the flowers on the dressing table. Looking through the bronze mirror at Yu Longzi who had just walked out, she let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had gone to the Imperial Garden with her before, so she did not reveal her mouth. " This time, Your Highness should believe this servant, right?"

"I have always believed in you." Yu Longzi's smile was no longer as cold and cold as before. "I just came to find you but did not see you. I was a little anxious."

"Your Highness, why do you need to say such high-sounding words to this servant? Compared to gorgeous lies, this servant is more willing to listen to the truth." Ruoqing's current appearance indeed had some of Mu Ruqing's charm.

Yu Longzi was stunned and the curve of his mouth became smaller," Since that is the case, don't let this prince discover that you have betrayed me. Otherwise..."

"This servant still needs to wait for Your Highness to give me riches and honor. Now that Your Highness is the reliance of this servant, how can this servant do something that goes against my master?" Ruoqing's brain thought quickly as she said a few good words.

Yu Longzi leaned a few inches closer to her and warm breath was spat onto her face. Ruoqing's heart rate sped up and her hands were placed on the flower, so tightly that the flower petals scattered. It was hard to say whether she was looking forward to it or afraid.

"Why is your face so red? Do you have some clues about the matter that I asked you to investigate?" Yu Longzi teased her with a smile. The facts proved that his charm did not decrease. Why did it not work on Mu Ruqing? After thinking about it, he did not even touch her hand.

"En. It is just that this servant does not dare to say, "Ruoqing left Yu Longzi and lowered her head.

"Forgive your innocence. But there is no harm in saying it. " Yu Longzi sat down and poured a cup of tea. He only took a sip before he put it on the table and ignored it.

" The tea here by this servant is naturally not comparable to the tea in Your Highness's courtyard. " Ruoqing's words did not seem to have any meaning, "I'm afraid that the truth is different from what Your Highness expected. No matter how this servant investigated and searched, this matter is related to Empress."

Yu Longzi stopped his actions and his eyes only had a scrutinizing look.

" This servant investigated a few elders in the palace. They only knew that after Consort Lan and Your Ladyship died, the Empress's jade pendant was in her hands. This was something that many people knew at that time. After the Emperor knew, he even neglected Empress for a period of time. " Ruoqing said it as if she was present at that time. It was just that what she said was the truth. She was also not afraid that Yu Longzi would investigate afterwards.

"How could this prince not know that there is such a thing?" Yu Longzi's face was full of doubt. It turned out that he had never put this matter in his heart. He didn't expect that it would become the key now.

"If Your Highness were to investigate, he might not be able to find it. After all, the person who is keeping an eye on Your Highness... There are many people who have their eyes on His Highness. This is also the reason why Your Highness gave this servant to investigate. In these matters, this servant is much more convenient than His Highness in many areas." Ruoqing's every sentence was said in Yu Longzi's heart and it was not difficult to tell. Ruoqing could indeed help him a lot.

"I underestimated you before." Yu Longzi showed a rare expression of appreciation, but it disappeared in an instant.

Ruoqing still caught that moment of expression and her smile could not help but climb onto her face, "This servant also found something. Before Consort Lan left the Palace, she had an argument with Empress. At that time, the Emperor also punished Empress for this."

"Li Palace?" Yu Longzi indeed did not know about this matter and suddenly felt curious about the matter that Royal Father and his mother did not wish to talk about. What kind of truth was involved in this matter?

"Yes." Ruoqing nodded, "He said that he was going to the Buddhist Temple to offer incense. He only went there for a few days. Those few days, the Emperor's temperament was violent, as long as he made a slight mistake. Kill. After Consort Lan returned, the Emperor went to take a look at her. When she came out, her face was full of anger. Not long after, Consort Lan died. "

This matter was really interesting. Yu Longzi stared at the tea in the cup and did not know what he was thinking about. He only relaxed his tightly knitted brows.

" What is this servant going to do next. Please instruct me, Your Highness." Ruoqing did not dare to sit down as she stood beside Yu Longzi and asked.

Only then did Yu Longzi come back to his senses, "Are the people who told you these things still there? What are they doing in the Palace now? What are their roles? Tomorrow, bring them to this prince to take a look."

"Could it be that Your Highness... wants to silence them?" Ruoqing slightly raised her eyebrows and revealed a sense of worry.

"We will not make things difficult for them." Yu Longzi raised his eyebrows and a trace of conspiracy slid across his eyes. "Not only will I not make things difficult for them, I will also reward them. After all, he had to make that shrewd Fifth Younger Brother believe him. I still need to put in a lot of effort. "

Ruoqing knew that Yu Longzi was trying to make that person speak the truth and replace Empress with Consort Long. This way, Yu Longchen would have a higher chance of believing him and drive Yu Longchen and Yu Longtang further away from each other.

Furthermore, from Consort Long's expression just now, she also did not want Yu Longtang and Yu Longchen to walk in. This time, Ruoqing became more and more confident.

"I'm leaving. I will come to see you in a few days." When Yu Longzi walked out of the door, Ruoqing felt slightly better and the excitement in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.
